The Great Sphinx of Egypt

A sphinx is a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a person, a hawk, or a ram. Ancient Egyptian sculptors made statues of sphinxes to honor kings and queens. In Egyptian art, kings are often shown as lions defeating their enemies. To the Egyptians, the sphinx stood for royal power and protection.

Alongside the pyramids in the desert near Giza, Egypt, is a huge monument called the Great Sphinx. The Great Sphinx has a human face. On its head is a royal headdress. The statue lies near the pyramid of King Khafre, a Fourth Dynasty ruler. The sphinx’s face is thought to be a portrait of Khafre.

The Great Sphinx was built about 4,500 years ago. It is the oldest and most famous statue of a sphinx. It is also the largest, measuring 240 feet long and about 66 feet high.

Chapter 3 NotesEgypt

Summary"Egypt is the gift of the Nile," wrote

the Greek historian Herodotus. The Nile did indeed provide the Egyptians with many necessities of life and their civilization was built along its fertile shores.

Egyptian and Nubian kingdoms ruled the banks of the Nile for over two thousand years.


Section 1: The Geography of the Nile

The Nile is the world's longest river. It flows north from its sources in central Africa to the Mediterranean Sea, a distance of more than 4,000 miles. Its waters are ideal for farming and trade.


Section 2: The Rulers of Egypt

The first dynasty of Egypt began when King Menes united Upper and Lower Egypt. This union began one of the most stable civilizations in history.

The Egyptian pharaohs successfully ruled this large civilization for over 2,500 years.


Section 3: Egyptian ReligionThe ancient Egyptians believed in life

after death. They developed a system of mummifying bodies to preserve them for the afterlife.

During their lifetimes, many pharaohs built large pyramids to house their bodies after their death.


Section 4: Ancient Egyptian Culture

The ancient Egyptians were farmers as well as successful traders. Their society was divided into several social classes with men and women as equals.

The Egyptians mastered an amazing amount of knowledge that led to advances in writing, astronomy, and medicine.


Section 5: The Cultures of Nubia

Several civilizations rose and fell in Nubia. Powerful kingdoms were centered in the cities of Kerma, Napata, and Meroë.

The Nubians developed remarkable skills in the making of pottery as well as iron weapons and tools.
